At dot-art, we know the positive impact art can have first-hand and we want to share it as widely as possible. That’s why the first five people who book onto one of our creative courses can gift a free place to a friend, family member or colleague who they think would enjoy and benefit from some creative activity.
Courses starting during the current national lockdown will begin online on Zoom and will continue in person once the restrictions are lifted.

400 million metres of fishing line is discarded in the UK each year. It takes 600 years for heavy monofilament to degrade. Fishing litter and discarded nets cause injury and death to thousands of wild animals every year. After many incidents of rescuing animals from discarded fishing gear, I have been inspired to create this online petition.
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/573619
The petition calls on the government to:
1. Require that material on fishing line recycling is provided whenever someone buys an EA fishing licence.
2. Provide funding for fishing line recycling bins in local parks and other open access fisheries such as canals, rivers and sea venues. Anywhere someone can fish, there should be a recycling bin.
3. Provide funding for recycling schemes, like the Anglers National Line Recycling Scheme, so these can be expanded to assist in the recycling of line, nets and all plastics collected both in freshwater and marine environments.
The line can then sent off to selected recycling plants such as ReWorked where it can be transformed into various products such as traffic cones, sun glasses, skateboards, wetsuits and even swimwear.
I know the Anglers National Line Recycling Scheme recycling bins set up in Brighton thanks to Leave No Trace Brighton have been very well recieved so I want this to be rolled out nationwide.
As a vegan, I am anti-fishing, however this campaign instead tries to highlight ways we can make small changes through education and increased accessibility to recycling points. I am doing this to honour my beautiful late fiancée Niamh for always being a voice for the animals.
Please let me know if you are able to help circulate this petition or if you can help signpost organisations who may be interested.
Kindest,
Drew Taylor
